Abstract (en)
[origin: US2005247802A1] Methods and devices include having a container ( 1 ) for holding a liquid with a viscosity mu, and a porous wick ( 5 ) with an average pore size of at least about 4 microns to about 50 microns and a porosity epsilon between about 0.20 to about 0.75, and having a length L and a total exposed surface area A exposed to the ambient air. The viscosity of the liquid and the dimensions of the wick are such that a quantity A/muL is in a range of about 4x10<SUP>-4 </SUP>to about 18 cm/poise.
